History of the cufflinks

The first cufflink appeared in the years 1600, they only became current at the end of the 18th century.

Their development is closely linked to that of the men's shirt.

After the Medium Age, the visible parts of the shirt (col and cuffs) have become sites of decorative elements such as volvents and embroideries.

The wrists were maintained together by rubans, as for collars, early tie precursors.

Up to the end of the XVIIIth century, suspended steering wheels on the wrist were worn in the yard and in others official places, while in everyday shirts, the sleeves ended with a simple ribbon, where a button was fixed, or even sometimes, a pair of connected buttons were.

During this time, the cufflinks became "mode accessories" and one of the rare jewelry items acceptable for men in Great Britain and the United States .
